LGSG Chapter 17
by VolareAfter recording the waist and chest measurements, Xia Ran’s face was already burning with overheating.
Therefore, Xie He didn’t tease him further.
Xia Ran was surprised, “Don’t you need to measure more?”
Xie He smiled and said, “This fabric is only enough for an outer robe; you’ll still wear your own inner lining and pants. Hip measurements aren’t that important anyway, and I can roughly estimate them.”
Xia Ran: “…”
Don’t estimate everything!
He patted his cheeks, forcibly cooling them down.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel a bit amazed, like discovering something new.
Mr. Xie was more adept at joking than he had imagined.
He wasn’t completely aloof from worldly affairs.
Did this mean his relationship with Mr. Xie had taken another step forward!
After all this fuss, it was indeed Xia Ran’s off-work time. But he had already promised Xie He that he would keep him company tonight. Xia Ran was in a dilemma. After all, he wasn’t clear about what the specific form of accompanying Mr. Xie for the night should be.
Should he leave? Should he go rest in the guest room?
Xie He said, “Didn’t you want to see me make clothes?”
Xia Ran: “!”
Xia Ran stammered, “Ah, yes, that’s right!”
Xie He sat back in his wheelchair.
He pointed to the side.
Xia Ran understood and pulled out a small stool, sitting next to Xie He.
Before long, the black-haired youth collapsed onto the table.
Xia Ran covered his head and got up, seeing Xie He looking at him with a smile.
“S-Sorry…” Xia Ran said, “I’m a little sleepy.”
Xia Ran usually just played games or slept at home. Although he was a deadbeat who didn’t like to go out and exercise, his lifestyle was surprisingly regular, going to bed early and waking up early. Even in the game, he strictly followed his biological clock, getting sleepy at sunset. Mr. Xie making clothes was indeed pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately, the movements were too light and slow, very hypnotic. Xia Ran soon became drowsy watching him.
Xie He thoughtfully said, “Go to sleep. You’ve worked hard all day.”
Xia Ran felt a little embarrassed. In fact, being by Xie He’s side during the day meant eating, drinking, and admiring his beauty. His job was probably the easiest.
But he was indeed sleepy.
After saying goodbye to Xie He, Xia Ran groped his way to his guest room in a daze.
Mr. Xie’s bedroom was on the second floor.
Xia Ran and the butler’s rooms were on the first floor.
The guest room was still the same as when Xia Ran last slept in it, except it was cleaner, having been tidied up by Xie He. Before, Xia Ran thought this guest room was set up to meet the needs of guests or Mr. Xie’s previous employees for short stays, but today, after chatting with Mr. Xie, Xia Ran barely realized something was wrong.
In Mr. Xie’s tone, this guest room seemed to be a room specially arranged for him.
Including some changes of clothes, they all seemed to be the right size.
Xia Ran quickly shook his head, forcing himself not to think about unnecessary things.
When he climbed into bed to sleep, Xia Ran felt his face was still a little hot.
He couldn’t help but despise himself.
Tch, blushing and heart racing at every turn.
Might as well change his name to Xia Heat.
Despite his thoughts, Xia Ran quickly fell asleep.
And slept soundly.
But on the other side, someone was unhappy.
Xiao Xie He, as usual, climbed into Xia Ran’s room.
Then he saw an empty bed.
Xiao Xie He: “…”
A ghostly infant’s sinister laughter came from the side.
The ghostly infant had been packed up and thrown out of Sui Yuan Ju by Xie He, filled with resentment. It sensed that the human who bought the cloth seemed to live here. Heh, if it couldn’t bully the final Boss, couldn’t it bully a human?
Roaring, it crawled in, and the ghostly infant and Xiao Xie He locked eyes.
Monsters didn’t identify each other by appearance.
Feeling the aura from the soul fragment and the final Boss, the ghostly infant’s pupils trembled violently.
Why are you everywhere?
Originally, Xiao Xie He was annoyed because Xia Ran had disappeared, but seeing the ghost only added to his annoyance. Unlike the adult version of Xie He, the child wasn’t very good at suppressing his emotions. So, when the two monsters looked at each other for the first time, Xiao Xie He mercilessly revealed his killing intent towards the ghostly infant.
Ghostly Infant: “…”
Damn it. Which merchant sold it here?!
Before it could run away again, Xiao Xie He had already strangled the ghostly infant.
He heard a girl’s soft laughter from the windowsill.
Xiao Xie He turned his head with disgust and hatred, seeing his younger sister, Xie Qiao.
For Xie Qiao, the young Xie He had no brotherly feelings whatsoever.
His birth mother had just died, and before the three-year mourning period was even over, a new wife was brought into the family by the old master. A few years later, Xie Qiao was born.
For Xie He, Xie Qiao was a complete and utter usurper.
The meaning of his name was very perfunctory. When he was just born, he lost his breath due to dystocia and was misdiagnosed as a stillborn. A white crane from a dead person’s grave happened to be parked at the door. He was almost buried but was rescued. The old master gave him the name “He” without even looking up, as if satirizing that Xie He’s life should be like a white crane, with no return. A few days later, his mother, who was lingering on her sickbed, finally couldn’t swallow her last breath and died in tears. Xie He’s name even more reflected the scenery.
When Xie He was six years old, he was tricked by the old master into going to the burial grounds. Because his father thought he was ominous, suspecting that he was a ghost fetus that had taken his wife’s vitality, he found a crooked Taoist priest who came up with the bad idea of burying Xie He alive. Fortunately, the servant in charge of the live burial couldn’t bear it, and ultimately perfunctorily did things carelessly.
When Xiao Xie He ran home, he happened to run into his sister’s birth.
He clung to the crack in the door, hearing his father holding his new wife and saying, “I hope our daughter is clever and ingenious, so let’s call her Xie Qiao.”
The young boy stood in the snow, listening with a numb heart.
Ah. He was just a monster anyway.
It was right that no one loved him.
Xiao Xie He’s thoughts spun, and his nose felt inexplicably sore. This feeling made him feel strange.
Could it be that there were emotional fluctuations on the main body’s side?
“What are you always doing coming to Xia Ran’s place?” Xiao Xie He darkened his face, glaring unhappily at his cheap sister.
The Xie family had probably committed some evil deeds, leading to all the descendants of the Xie family head being freaks.
Xie Qiao was a natural monster.
When she was four years old, she skinned and gutted the little bird that Xie He liked.
Xie Qiao said, “I originally wanted to kill him.”
Xiao Xie He cautiously said, “My main body wouldn’t let you have a chance to do such a thing, right?”
Xie Qiao nodded.
“But there’s also an even more unexpected reason,” Xie Qiao said, “I can’t beat him.”
Xie Qiao ambushed Xia Ran’s room that night.
It was just that the Painting Ghost was one step ahead of her.
After seeing the black-haired youth in his sleep punch the Painting Ghost into the wall, Xie Qiao immediately gave up on the idea.
She didn’t want to add another crater in the shape of herself on the wall.
Xiao Xie He: “…”
The atmosphere was suddenly broken.
“Then why do you still come every day?” Xiao Xie He said.
Xie Qiao: “Father told me to.”
Xiao Xie He: “Your father.”
Xie Qiao: “Okay, my father is my father.”
The two children fought over each other, with an unspeakable dislike for their cheap father.
“I don’t know which ghost NPC started the rumor,” Xie Qiao said seriously, “The old man heard that Xie He found a daughter-in-law, and he’s so happy. He sent me over to see if the daughter-in-law is easy to bear children.”
Xiao Xie He: “…”
Was she even speaking Chinese?
Xiao Xie He’s face showed an indescribable expression as if struck by lightning.
“You’re saying,” Xiao Xie He said, “Xia Ran can give birth?”
Xie Qiao: “Uh, probably not.”
The black-haired straight girl covered her mouth: “Brother, your focus is so strange!”
Xiao Xie He: “…”
It’s because your rumors are too outrageous!
For the Xie Hes, the main body and the soul fragments were the same existence. Their cognition was the same, their memories were the same, their experiences were also the same, including their preferences and thoughts. Xiao Xie He admitted that the main body did have some unclear thoughts about Xia Ran. But hadn’t they even started dating yet?
Aren’t you instance NPCs a little too free?!
Xiao Xie He’s expression was ferocious: “Your father wouldn’t not know that Xia Ran is a man, right?”
Xie Qiao: “Looks like he doesn’t. So every day I’m thinking about how to tell him the tragic truth that the Xie family’s incense has died out.”
Xiao Xie He: “…”
They’re already ghosts, do they still care about incense?
“But,” Xie Qiao said, “You need to know, father is not very clear-headed. If he knows that the daughter-in-law he’s been longing for is a man who can’t carry on the family line, he’ll probably go crazy.”
Xiao Xie He’s expression also became serious.
Going crazy wasn’t the problem.
If it would hurt Xia Ran, that would be a problem.
The main body was now somewhat affected because the soul wasn’t complete.
Whether he could fully suppress the crazy old fart still needed careful consideration.
“That’s not right.” Xiao Xie He suddenly reacted, “The main body hasn’t even really started dating Xia Ran yet, so how can you call him a daughter-in-law coming through the door?”
He was almost led astray by Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao: “If he loses his daughter-in-law, I think he’ll also go crazy.”
Xiao Xie He: “…”
Xiao Xie He: “Are you here to cause trouble?”
“You’ve really wronged me.” Xie Qiao gave a fake smile, “I just don’t want father to go crazy for no reason. You’re not afraid of being killed by him if he goes crazy, but I can’t.”
The human version of Xie Old Master didn’t have much lethality. After becoming a ghost, his strength was second only to Xie He.
Xie Qiao still had to be wary.
After all, the father-daughter relationship from when she was human wouldn’t carry over after turning into a monster.
Xie Qiao: “I’ve been racking my brains and came up with a win-win solution!”
Xiao Xie He: “…”
He had a bad feeling.
“Don’t go!” Xie Qiao’s arm stretched out abruptly, pressing the turning-away boy in place, “Compared to the fact that his daughter-in-law is a man, the old man should be more worried about not being able to carry on the family line. Then, we can just turn Xia Ran into a male daughter-in-law who can carry on the family line!”
Xiao Xie He: “?”
Let’s speak Chinese.
Xie Qiao was afraid that he wouldn’t agree, and the skin on her lips almost rubbed off.
“You play the child and let the main body and Xia Ran show their faces in front of him. Bro, just do your sister a favor…”
The young Xie He laughed: “I’ll be my own son. Xie Qiao, do you think that’s feasible?”
Xie Qiao patted his shoulder: “just do it!”
Xiao Xie He: “…”
Sure enough, children shouldn’t be exposed to electronic products too early; Xie Qiao was a typical case.
Just then, his footsteps paused, and he shared thoughts with the main body.
The main body said that he thought it was feasible.
